LONDON – Nurses in Britain are prepared to strike until Christmas if they cannot reach a deal with the government on pay, the leader of the country’s main nursing union said on Sunday.
Hopes had been high that nurses in England would accept the 5 per cent pay offer brokered by the RCN and the government in March.RCN members will walk out for 48 hours on April 30, with the action extended to staff in emergency departments, intensive care and cancer care units for the first time. RCN members walked out for the first time in the union’s 108-year history late in 2022, joining a wave of public and private sector workers calling for pay rises as inflation soared.
